You seemed to imply it when this gets posted:

Charlie Kimball can't go one race without being hit by something.

Edit: The moving chicane nearly put Hinchcliffe in the wall.

Good,

Not even sure what exactly is your problem with Hinchcliffe.
 
You are going to love drivers and loathe others- that's fine as a sports fan. However, it's classless to talk about a driver you don't like in that sort of manner. Consider these people have lives to live and stuff like that. Show some class.

Having said that, all congratulations to Scott Dixon on winning the 2015 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. When I was still fairly young and inexperienced as a racing fan, a guy named Juan Pablo Montoya was making waves in the (then) CART series winning at Long Beach in 1999 and went on to win the CART championship. It would begin my appreciation and respect of Juan Pablo Montoya. Fifteen years later, the Colombian would finish 3rd in this new age of IndyCar racing. Top 5: Scott Dixon, Helio Castroneves, Juan Pablo Montoya, Simon Pagenaud, and Tony Kannan. More on the race: http://www.indycar.com/News/2015/04/4-19-Dixon-wins-Toyota-Grand-Prix-of-Long-Beach


Up next- that European style road course in the Deep South... the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. That race is next Sunday. Bring on Barber Motorsports Park!

Same problem I have with Andretti and Rahal, family names, not family skills, keeping good drivers out of cars that would be more deserving and more competitive, Hinch has the same "expecting" attitude without the family name,

Wut?

He is probably the only one on the grid with a proper personality.
 
I will agree Hinch is good with his fans, probably the best in Indycar, but his sense of entitlement which is given off in his attitude when doing interviews and stuff just annoys me, always kind of expects to be given everything, and has been carried for so long by some major sponsors when there are better drivers in the pool, Connor Daly proved that in the race,

What? Hinch has had 3 different sponsors in 4 years, and his seat at Andretti was always at risk because he couldn't get steady backing. He's a 3 time race winner (Not counting NOLA because I'm trying to forget that race ever happened) and has proved himself to be worthy of being on the grid.

Can we get rid of Dracone yet? He was lapped by his teamate, who was in his first street race in an Indycar and had only got 1 practice session in. Not to mention Will power was a lap down and still caught and passed him, and Filippi almost made up 2 laps on him. Just brutal.
 
What's Draccone' career worth prior to IndyCar?
 
Absolutely nothing noteworthy in his career.
 
Who the hell is this Dracone?

Sounds similar to Suzie Wolff only she had a podium in F2.0UK.
 
I just can't wait to see who Coyne gets after Dracone's last race.
 
Time for a few musings of mine.

The upcoming race is at Barber Motorsports Park. In the past, I described Barber as "a European-style road course in the Deep South." It is a course you'd probably see raced on by the British Touring Car Championship or the FIA World Touring Car Championship. I still find it as one of the finest challenges the IndyCar Series faces all season long. I think it was primarily meant as a great motorcycle racing course, but it's also quite challenging for cars. Only thing I hope is that we actually get some good racing in unlike the event at NOLA Motorsports Park two weeks ago.


In any event, good luck to all drivers and teams this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park.

Hopefully the race will be a dry one, weather.com shows a 90% chance of storms on Saturday, but only a 10% chance on Sunday:). However, weather forecasts can change at a moments notice.
 
Well hell, Luca Badoer has nothing better to do so...
 
Anyone know why AJ Foyt are struggling?
